“I am deep in my willed habits. From the outside, I suppose I look like an unoccupied house with one unconvincing night-light left on. Any burglar could look through my curtains and conclude I am empty. But he would be mistaken.

My habits and the unchanging season sustain me. Evil is what questions and disrupts.”
